Abstract

The present invention provides an attachable cup holder for a laundry detergent container. The attachable cup holder includes a first receiving portion affixed perpendicularly in relation to a second receiving portion via a pair of connection rods. The first receiving portion includes an open loop having a first end and a second end, wherein the open loop removable secures to a spout of a laundry detergent container. The second receiving portion includes a pair of opposing arcuate rod members that receive a cup. The pair of connection rods are affixed to the ends of the open loop and extend downwardly therefrom, wherein a bottom end of each connection rod is affixed to a distal end of an arcuate rod member of the second receiving portion. The opposing arcuate members are disconnected such that they can move away from one another to receive cups having varying diameters.
